I think we can make labor call happen from Schumer wo her calling him
directly. Can u give me call sheet for Schumer and I will try on this
one. And might be good to do soon since transportation bill just
failed.

We have a education call with NEA senior staff tomorrow and I would expect similar issues around testing to be raised.  I am excited that HRC is attending the ISEA conference next week in Iowa and I understand that this conference could provide some opportunity to highlight additional education policy points.  Adding a new point on testing would be very helpful.  I've flagged this for Ann and Maya.

>> -ATU-My recommendation for outreach is to submit a call sheet for Senator Schumer to call President Hanley.  Schumer has done a lot of work with Hanley around public transit.  I think this call would be most effective to neutralize Hanley's endorsement.  Additionally, a good friend and former 2008 ATU Political Director will reach out to Executive Board member Janice Borchardt.  Janice was very involved in the 2007/08 Clinton campaign for ATU.  She will possibly have additional insight on the direction of the union.
